LCD display image distored not in focus and colours are blured

Camera is FinepixF700 and the serial number of the camera is 33L04340. This has only happened today - had no problem with camera since purchased. No idea how to fix this or what it is or whether to ditch camera and buy another one or send it for repair - would it be worth it. It has always been kept in the correct camera case and has not been dropped.

Re: LCD display image distored not in focus and colours...

I was really disappointed when my F700 developed a fault last night where the screen showed distorted purple black images when taking a picture. Viewing was fine, and the menu was fine as well. I have tried all day to recover it and was at the point of throwing it away when I decided to change the ISO setting to the highest of 1600. I also turned the flash off and picked the night time setting. When I turned the camera back on it worked!!! I have now set all the setting back to the normal auto, and all is well.

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Fuji should fix this for you for free. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:

Some cameras display a grainy picture in low light. Do you have the camera set to the highest number of megapixels and fine image or do you have it set to a lower resolution to get more pictures on the card?

Your DSC-F88 has problem with CCD Imager and needs to be replaced. Good news is Sony will replace it free of cost. Click Sony Official website to get further instructions. Hope this info will helpful for you.

Now look on the LEFT side of the viewfinder; just above the swivel-screen.

You will see a little thumb wheel there.

That is the focus for the viewfinder. Move it up and down to bring the viewfinder into focus. (Don't forget to do this while you are looking through the viewfinder so you can see what you are adjusting.)

What mode is the camera in? is it in "Auto" at the top there is a dial switch it to auto and press button halfway (shutter button) when you press the button halfway the camera will beep and display a square box on the LCD. If the camera beeps once and the box is orange it could not focus and you need to retry pressing halfway again. When it is in focus it will beep 2 times and it will show a GREEN box. This is the indication it could focus on the subject correctly. Its a machine and sometimes it takes it a bit for it to figure out what your wanting it to do. Its the nature of the unit
